Dienoplus Tablet

Dienoplus Tablet is FDA-approved for the treatment of the following:

• Contraception – Prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and altering cervical mucus.
• Endometriosis treatment – Reduces pain and suppresses endometrial tissue growth.
• Menstrual cycle regulation – Helps manage irregular or painful periods.
• Acne management (off-label) – Reduces androgen levels to improve skin condition.

Dienoplus Tablet works by stabilising hormone levels in the body. Ethinyl Estradiol increases estrogen levels, preventing the natural surge that triggers ovulation. Dienogest, a synthetic progestin, thickens cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. It also alters the uterine lining, reducing the chances of implantation.

In women with endometriosis, this Dienoplus Tablet helps reduce estrogen stimulation, slowing the growth of endometrial tissue and alleviating associated pain. By maintaining hormonal balance, it also regulates menstrual cycles and reduces symptoms of hormonal acne.

Certain medications may interfere with the Dienoplus Tablet, reducing its effectiveness or increasing side effects. Always consult a doctor before combining it with other drugs.

Serious Drug Interactions:

• Antibiotics (Rifampin, Rifabutin) – Reduce contraceptive effectiveness.
• Antiepileptic drugs (Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Phenobarbital) – May decrease hormonal levels, leading to contraceptive failure.
• Antiretrovirals (Ritonavir, Efavirenz) – Lower drug concentration, reducing its efficacy.
• Blood thinners (Warfarin) – Can alter clotting factors, increasing bleeding risks.
• St. John’s Wort – Accelerates metabolism, reducing hormone effectiveness.
• Diabetes medications – May impact glucose levels.

• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If two or more doses are missed, use backup contraception.
• Keep it out of reach of children.
• Overdose symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abnormal bleeding. Seek immediate medical attention.
